Refocused Region Advisor Program FAQ

The Region Advisor supports District leaders by guiding them in strategic planning, goal setting, leadership development, and team effectiveness to help their District succeed.

Region Advisors facilitate communication between Districts and the Toastmasters Board, help interpret performance trends, and provide coaching to ensure district success. They are not decision-makers, but trusted partners who offer support, perspective, and accountability.

Each District trio (District Director, Program Quality Director, and Club Growth Director) typically meets with their Region Advisor once a month for structured conversations. These conversations are linked to the District Progress Review cycle.

In addition to these trio sessions, you’ll participate in occasional peer calls with other Districts in your region.

Special calls may be scheduled based on team needs or upcoming milestones.

Your Region Advisor will be with you at District Leader Training and Mid-year Training and at the Region Gathering at International Convention.

A District Progress Review is a scheduled discussion between a District trio and their Region Advisor to assess progress toward District goals. It includes reviewing the District Success Plan, dashboard data, and key milestones. The conversation is meant to be supportive and strategic, helping leaders adjust course as needed.

The core participants are the District Director, Program Quality Director, and Club Growth Director (the trio), along with the Region Advisor. The International Director from your region may also attend.

Review your District Success Plan, update your Assessment Worksheet with data from the dashboard, and reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and where support is needed. Come prepared to share updates, ask questions, and discuss potential adjustments to your strategy.
